About the Journal
Bioarchaeology in a general sense is the discipline that deals with the study of any biological remains recovered from archaeological contexts. It concerns the analysis of human osteological remains of archaeological interest. Bioarchaeology is an integrative, holistic field that combines different theories, methods, and studies to offer a comprehensive interpretative framework of archaeological contexts. Interdisciplinary aspects are aimed at improving data upon biological findings in the archaeological record. The JBR addresses bioarchaeological methods from field studies, laboratory analyses, to data interpretation.
